Because this is an opportunity to extend distro transparency and ultimately<br>
allow developers to spend more time on developing rather than dealing with<br>
differences between distros.<br>
<br>
Besides, we already mirror UbuntuStudio, JACKlab, and 64Studio, so why<br>
shouldn't we also encourage Debian Multimedia to join the consortium and in<br>
turn allow them to use whatever resources we may have.<br>
<br>
All that being said, I do agree with you that we have limited resources, and<br>
in part I am hoping that through these kinds of initiatives we could bring<br>
in more contributors to the core Linuxaudio.org services.<br>

<br>So, from another point of view, why LAU should take "care" about distros that differs for a 2 or 3 packages from official debian distro? What's the need for this? Do we really need two debian based distros in order to have Ardour & -rt kernels installed on?...<br>
